Artesyn Embedded introduces website
Formerly known as Emerson Network Power’s Embedded Computing & Power business, Artesyn Embedded Technologies has launched its new website. Designed with the user in mind, the site (www.artesyn.com) provides quick and easy access to essential information and features about Artesyn’s embedded computing and power conversion products and technology.
MOSFET provides industry's lowest RDS(ON) in 2x2mm footprint
Saving space and claiming to increase power efficiency in portable electronics, the SiA936EDJ TrenchFET power MOSFET has been announced by Vishay. The manufacturer claims that the dual n-channel MOSFET features the industry's lowest on-resistance RDS(ON) for 20V (12 and 8VGS) devices at 4.5 and 2.5V gate drives in a 2x2mm footprint.
Buck converter requires just 12µA quiescent current
Suitable for telecomms, industrial, avionic and automotive applications, the LTC3637 is a 76V input-capable high efficiency buck converter that delivers up to 1A of continuous output current. Introduced by Linear Technology, it delivers efficiencies as high as 90% and requires just 12µA of quiescent current, maximising battery run time.
VPX power supplies take on harsh environments
Luso Electronics Distribution, the sole UK and Ireland representative for the SynQor range of power supplies and related components, has announced availability of VITA 62* compliant VPX power supplies in 3U- and 6U-high ruggedized packages designed for high performance computing applications in the harsh environmental and demanding electrical conditions of military/aerospace applications as well as communications and industrial industries.
1500W & 3000W AC/DC supplies target factory automation
Expanding upon existing lines of AC/DC power supplies, Power Sources Unlimited has introduced the AE-1500 Series (1500W) and the AE-3000 Series (3000W) from Cotek Electronics. Available models include 12V, 15V, 24V, 30V, 36V, 48V and 60VDC output voltages. Key applications include factory automation, off-site test and measurement and communications equipment.
Adapter now includes micro USB output for tablet charging
The 10W ultra-thin PSA10F Series adapter, from Phihong USA, has been modified to include a DC cord terminated by a Micro-B USB connector. Designated the PSA10F-050, the power adapter has an output of 5V and 2A, which is ideal for charging lithium ion batteries in personal devices that feature large touch screens.
Current sensor offers MTTF of over 6,000 years
Following the publication of a test report into the reliability and longevity of the company's Sidewinder AC current sensing technology, Pulse Electronics has revealed that Sidewinder-based products achieve at least 99.7% reliability after 20 years of 24/7 service and have an estimated mean time to failure (MTTF) of 6,090 years with 90% confidence.
Conduction cooled modules suit HVDC bus applications
Suitable for high input voltages, TDK's PH-A280 series of DC-DC power modules are successors to the existing PH-S280 and PH-F280 series. The product series is half the size of its forerunners with 5% higher efficiency (up to 90%).
Three-phase film capacitors for PFC and AC filtering
Three-phase medium power film capacitors, the FLB series has been introduced by AVX. Operating over a temperature range from -40 to +80°C, typical applications for the series include Power Factor Correction (PFC) and output AC filtering in power converters, UPS systems, solar and wind inverters and motor drives.
AC/DC supplies deliver shock resistant performance
Sealed in a heat conducting potting material, the TER family of AC/DC power supplies has been expanded to include 500W and 600W models. The power supplies, from Schaefer Inc, feature an ultra-wide temperature range of –50ºC to 85ºC, making these units suited for projects that demand reliable and shock resistant performance in the harshest operating conditions.
